(Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast; 25 and make my task easy for me. 26 “And untie the knot of my tongue.” 27 That they may understand my saying. 28 Appoint a deputy (for me) from my own people. 29 Aaron my brother 30 To strengthen me 31 and let him share my task, 32 That we may sing Your praises much, 33 And remember You much. 34 Surely, Thou art seeing us. 35 He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa 36 And certainly We bestowed on you a favor at another time; 37 When We told your mother what We relate: 38 'Put the baby into a chest and then throw him in the river. The river will throw him up on the shore, and then an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will take him.' And I spread My love over you in order that you might be reared in My sight. 39 Recall, when your sister went along, saying: 'Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him?'

My Lord neither erreth nor forgetteth, 52 "He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others. 53 (Saying): Eat ye and feed your cattle. Lo! herein verily are portents for men of thought. 54
